Partial Re-vegetation of the Dust and Blowing-Sand Source Area: A proposal for use of a 175 K$ SEP Fine

Abstract

We propose using the 175 K$ SEP money to stabilize approximately 300-340 acres located to the southwest of the 200 West Expansion Area fence. We propose a procedure that relies on drill seeding a mixture of perennial native grasses followed by truck application of a soil fixative such as Soil Master. This effort would compliment FDH/Duratek activities planned for inside the 200 West fence lines. Assuming that both efforts are successful, the result would be between 2,000 and 2,500 meters of stabilized soil surface upwind of the primary receptors at MO-281/272-WA, which would result in a significant reduction in respirable dust at the receptor site.
